IMPROVEMENT IN IRRIGATION-PIPES.

Spccification forming part of Letters Patent No. l46,572, dated January 20, 1874; applicationfilcd December 15, 1873.

To all whom it may conecraz Be it known that I, N. CLARK, of Sacramento city and county, State of California, have invented an Irrigation-Pipe; and I do hereby dcclare the following description and accompanyig drawings'are sufficient to enable any person skilledin the art or science to which'it most nearly appertains to make and use my said invention without further invention or experiment.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved pipe for the purpose of irrigation; and it consists mainly in the employment of a main conclucting-pipe, constructed in lengths, the encls of these lengths meeting within a short section of larger size, which prevents clogging and retains the main conducting-pipes in line, but allows the water for irrigating purposes to pass out at the joint. v

Referring to the acconpanying drawings for a more complete explanation of my invention, Figure l is a perspective view of my pipe. Fig. 2 is a section through the joint. V Fig. 3 'is a longitudinal section.

A isa conducting water-pipe, of any. suitable size and material. This pipe is made in receive an end of each of the meeting-pipes. V

Within the section B is formed a sort ot' flangc or stop, C, against which the ends of the pipes longitudinally through this flange and in the u body of the section B, as shown, the perforations connecting with the space between the cnds of the pipes A, so that water can flow out through the holes, while the section will protect the ends of the pipes, keep them in line, and prevent the ingress of dirt, and cousequent clogging of the pipes.

By this Construction I am enabled to make a cheap and efficient irrigation-pipe.

Having thus described my invention, what l claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, s-

An irrigation-pipe consisting of the pipes A A, in combination with the enlarged section B, either plain or provided with the interior flange and the perforations, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.

In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal.
